Folsom Prison Blues I hear the train a comin' It's rollin' round the bend I ain't seen the sunshine Since I don't know when. Well, I'm stuck in Folsom Prison And time keeps draggin' on
But I see a train a movin' On down to San Antone
Bet there's rich folks eatin' In some fancy dining car Probably drinkin' coffee And smokin' big cigars. Well, I know I had it comin' I know I can't be free
But them people keep on movin' And that's what tortures me.
When I was just a baby My mama told me son Always be a good boy Don't ever play with guns. But I shot a man in Reno Just to watch him die
Every time I hear that whistle I hang my head and I cry.
If they freed me from this prison If that railroad train was mine Bet I'd move it on a Little bit farther down the line. Far from Folsom Prison That's where I long to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle Blow my blues away
